Hudson Area Schools Course Syllabus
SYLLABUS
1. Course Title: Anatomy
2. Course Description: The study of the human body is the major concern of this class.
The material covered would be a special advantage for students who may pursue a career
in health occupations. The ability to memorize large quantities of material is important,
as there are frequent quizzes, tests, and lab work. The systems of the human body,
historical studies of the body tissues, muscle actions, and identification of origin insertion
are some of the topics covered.
3. Credit Hours: .5
4. Course Prerequisites: Biology and Chem A/B. Grade 10 must have teacher
approval.
5. Course Times: 1:26-2:37
6. Course Location: Room # 307
7. Instructor: Mr. David Conklin, [email protected], 448-8912 ext 307
8. Required Text and Other Learning Resources: Essentials of Human Anatomy and
Physiology
9. Course Overview: It is my hope that this class will help you learn more about how and
what your body does each and every second of the day. We will start with an overview of
the entire body, work our way through cells and tissues, and then to complete body
systems, such as the skeletal, nervous, and digestive systems.

Grading Policy and Rubric: Grades are assigned in my class based on the following
types of assignments:
Formative Assignments: These are generally homework and classwork assignments.
These scores will be recorded in the gradebook and will greatly increase the
students success in the class. These assignments will be viewed as practice, preparing
students for the summative assignments which will make up the students’ grade in Science.
Students may choose to complete or redo some of these assignments in order to gain
permission to retake a summative assignment (test).
Summative Assignments: These are generally tests, quizzes, projects and lab activities.
These WILL be the scores which ultimately determine a students’ grade in class.
Hudson Area Schools Course Syllabus
These assignments may be redone or retaken to improve a students’ grade, but only if
100% of the formative assignments are completed at an acceptable level, and the
student completes a personalized learning plan aimed at improving their score.
Students will be allowed to retake tests once.
Summative Assignments will be graded on the following weighed scale:
Homework, classwork, warm-ups, vocabulary
Lab Experiments, Projects, Quizzes, Tests
